Would you choose me? Chapter 1, a naruto fanfic

(A/N) Hey guys! It's me again with another chapter! I'll try to be less crappy this time. Also, I would like to say that in this story, Karin is less bitchy and she doesn't really like the fact that she's… well… I wont be saying it 'cause it'll be a spoiler. x)) Anyway, just enjoy the show ~ I am sorry for my amateur-ness again. xD

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Mind buying it for me?

Would you choose me?

Chapter 1: If this was a movie

It's been exactly six years since he left. Today is my twentieth birthday and I am not very happy about it. Why you might ask? SASUKE WILL BE COMING BACK. Why the heck does he have to come back on the exact same day that he left; WHY DOES HE NEED TO COME BACK ON MY BIRTHDAY? And with his fiancée, too. Go figure. Gah! I hate him. Super, super, super hate him!

'Ha! Sakura, are you kidding yourself now?'

And here comes my inner. Great. Just great. 'Whatever. Go away.'

'How could you hate Sasuke Uchiha? He's the love of your – our – life!'

'How could I NOT hate him? He leaves on my birthday; he comes back on my birthday. He pushes me around and steps on me. He didn't even care about me after he left! And that word… annoying…'

'Ah, you're just a bitter lil' lady.'

'Just go away. Please.' I try my best to shove my inner into the darkest corner of my mind. Phew, it worked.

"FOREHEEEAAAAADDDDDDD!" Oh boy. Here comes the blonde.

BAMM!

"Happy birthday, Sakura-chaaaan!" Oh great, two blondes.

"Naruto, get off her!" Ino pushed him and helped me up.

"Ugh, you two are so loud." I complained while rubbing my ears. I think they are gonna bleed. Ohmygoshpleaseno. I don't like blood. Even if I am a nurse. I hate blood. Ugh. Bloooooddd. NOOOO!

"So, Sak, are you ready for later?" Ino asked bringing me out of my thoughts about red, red blood.

"I think so. I mean, we've rehearsed it a bunch of times."

Ino just laughed. "No, silly. I mean seeing Sasuke after six years."

"Oh, I don't think so. It would be awkward." I diverted my eyes from Ino and tried to make myself busy. I don't think he even remembers me. And when he comes back, he'll just step on me again. That's for sure.

"Look, Sakura, just don't let him think you're weak. Be nice, but don't let him step on you." Now I did look at her. She knows me so well.

I hugged her. "Thanks," I said before walking over to the bass. I picked it up and sat down on the huge amplifier. I adjusted the volume and adjusted the tone of the strings. I heard the bell jingle and I looked up. I saw Hinata and Tenten coming in.

"Good morning!" Tenten greeted and jumped her way over us.

"Happy birthday, Sakura-chan." Hinata said, her voice just a little above a whisper. I smiled at her and she smiled back. Yay! The band's all here. We can practice now.

Ino, Tenten, Hinata and I decided to make a band when we were first year college students. We're not really that popular in other places, but everyone in Konoha knows us. Today, we will be playing for the festival and I am shaking with excitement and nervousness. I play the bass, Tenten plays the drums, Hinata plays the keyboards and Ino plays the guitar.

"Okay guys! Are you ready?" And with that, Tenten smashed her drumsticks together. "1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, go!" Then the band starts playing.

We are now standing on stage and the night slowly creeps in. Lanterns are being lit up and the battle of light and darkness begins. I let out the breath that I didn't know I was holding. I looked at Ino and nodded. She adjusted her mic and opened her mouth.

"Good evening, Konoha! Is everyone having a great time?" Cheers erupt from the crowd. "Glad that you're enjoying this festival! Now, we'll play a song. Here's Determinate[*]!" And the crowd goes wild!

I love this song. It's just so active and alive. Everyone – even us – dances along with the song. And Hinata raps epically. EPIC, I TELL YOU!

xxxxxxxx

After our nth song (seriously, we've played so many songs), Ino silenced the crowd. "Now, everyone, we'd like to tell you something." She nodded at Hinata, signaling her to continue what she was saying.

"W-well," Hinata said into the mic, blushing at all the attention she's getting. Ah, you've gotta love her for it! "you all know our bassist – Sakura – right?"

Cheers erupted from the crowd. "I LOVE YOU SAKURA-CHAN!" I heard one shout from above the rest. I laughed into the mic and just said, "Thank you."

"We'd like you all to know that," Tenten continued, "today is Sakura's birthday!"

"And now," Ino motioned me over, "she's going to sing a song for us." I switch places from Ino and the audience claps.

"Hi guys. Thank you for all the greetings I've been getting. It means so much to me. Now, I will be singing If This Was a Movie[*]." They clap again.

We start to play the chords and I wait for my turn to sing…

Last night I heard my own heart beating
Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Six months gone and I'm still reaching
Even though I know you're not there
I was playing back a thousand memories, baby
Thinking 'bout everything we've been through
Maybe I've been going back too much lately
When time stood still and I had you

I looked up. I could've sworn I saw Sasuke's hair swiftly pass through the crowd. Are they already here?

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now

I know people change and these things happen
But I remember how it was back then
Locked up in your arms and our friends are laughing
'cause nothing like this ever happened to them,
Now I'm pacing up the hall, chasing down your street
Flashback to a night when you said to me,
"Nothing's gonna change, not for me and you
Not before I knew how much I had to lose"

Now memories start to flash in the back of my mind. Darn it, Uchiha. Why'd you have to come back now?

If you're out there
If you're somewhere
If you're moving on
I'll be waiting for you
Wary, since you've been gone
I just want it back the way it was before
And I just want to see you back at my front door
And I say

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would before you say it's not that easy
Before the fight, before I left you out
But I take it all back now

I wish you would come back to me. I wish you should've chosen me.

I looked up. I saw him. I looked him directly in the eye. He held my gaze. I could feel the pressure of the gaze. But there was something in his eyes – a lot of emotions. I looked back down at my bass and broke eye contact.

You'd be here by now
It's not the kind of ending you wanna see now
Baby, I don't like the ending
Oh, I thought you'd be here now, whoa
Thought you'd be here by now.

He is here now. He's here. Is this a movie? How come my song matches the situation perfectly?

"Thank you! Good night, Konoha! But before you all go home, go by the lake and watch the fireworks!" I said into the mic.

"Thank you again! We love you all!" Ino said as we put down our instruments and get off the stage.

I didn't really pay much attention to where I was going. I just looked at my shoes, carefully dodging the autograph hungry fans. "Sorry, but not tonight dearies." I heard Ino say.

I was too much in a daze. I looked Sasuke dead in the eye and he held my gaze. He's back, he's back, he's – "Ow, I'm so sorry!" Stupid me. I hit somebody. "I'm really sorry. I –"

"Sakura-chan?" I looked up only to see a lovely woman with onyx eyes and raven hair.

"M-mikoto-san?" It is indeed her. She hugged me tightly. I hugged back and she let go. I look behind her and what do I see? Of course, her son, the one and only Sasuke Uchiha – and a red haired girl. She's really pretty. She must be his fiancée.

I was about to open my mouth and say something, but the redhead beat me to it. "Hi! Are you Sakura? Wow! You're absolutely lovely!"

(A/N) Okay, so here it is. Another crappy chapter for everyone out there ~ Gomen! I'm sorry. I'm really just an amateur writer. Please don't kill me! Review maybe? I want to know how I could improve.

*Determinate by Lemonade Mouth – listen to it! Heck, watch it here; .com/watch?v=iO6TjZzcRGQ (I really really really freakin' love Lemonade Mouth!)

*If this was a movie by Taylor Swift – listen to it! :D
